The two pizza slices....

Sierra and Friend: Sierra and one of her friends were interviewed by WLKY 32 trunk or treating in Clarksville. We don't know if they showed the interview or not, but we did see the video clip of her trunk or treating in Charlestown. When the Lady asked "what is the most interesting thing you have received while trick or treating?" Sierra's friend said "Sierra got a sock." When the interviewer asked her "can I see it?" Sure enough Sierra pulled the sock out of her treat sack. I am not sure the lady could keep a straight face after that. Hilarious!

Sierra and Friend in Charlestown

Nicolaas as alien, Kiefer and Andrew pizza slices and Sierra pizza baker. The flight suit Nicolaas is wearing used to be Joey's. Nicolaas believes that aliens do exist and that the government is hiding proof at Roswell. (LOL).

Wiese Windmill said...: It just seemed to grow. First Stacy emailed in the pictures and the story. Then yours came and then everybody was sending in pictures. I loved it. It was so much fun. Stacy was proud of her very economical pizza slices and cook hat she was able to pick up for a little bit of nothing. The boys were happy.; November 26, 2010 at 5:46 PM

Windmills

Most people know that the windmills have to some extent, built the country of the Netherlands. In fact, an old Dutch adage says “God created the earth, but the Dutch created Holland.”

Without the mills much of the land drainage could not have taken place. Mills were also used for grain milling, saw milling and in fact for a number of industrial purposes.

During World War II certain resting positions and ribbons on the sails etc.were used to signal secret messages to confidants and members of the resistance to warn people in hiding of raids.

The reason why I chose the Windmill to be the name for our blog is because traditionally the mills have been a means of communication. The mills speak a language which can be read from the position of the sails.

Basically, there are four positions: celebration, mourning, short resting, longer resting. In each position the sails are slightly tilted one way or another so people will know what is happening in the miller’s life

1. Celebration – birth or wedding position top sail at 1 on the clock

2. Mourning – death or funeral position top sail at 11 on the clock

3. Short rest or ready for work position sails in plus or cross ( + )

4. Longer rest – perhaps a vacation, illness position sails in ( X )

The sails of the windmills are often decorated with garlands or flowers for the occasion. Some millers mount a star on the mill at Christmas time.
